I need to bevel one edge of an aluminum plate 15 degrees top and bottom. I need a tool like a involute gear cutter, but with a straight 15deg on both sides. Edge of the plate has a radius which the angle needs to follow, so the plate must be laying flat bolted to a subplate or fixture hanging off the edge. I'll use my VMC with the cutter in a CAT40 stub arbor.
Can you buy these or do I need one custom made ? Easier to start with an old gear cutter or a slitting saw?
1/2" thick plate, about 1/4" thick at the "point".Thank You, Randy
